Sammy Greenwald

“WSM has been so great for me over the past few years - I’ve been able to learn so many different genres on electric guitar, as well as classical and recording. I’ve been taught by so many different teachers and have had great experiences with all of them, it’s been so great learning at WSM.”

Armando Segrera

“I enjoy taking lessons at WSM because it heightens my experience as a musician and helps me in my pursuits of musical theater through learning about music theory and as well learning to be disciplined and on top of my work and practicing.”

Alice Mocci

“Going to Wynwood School of Music has been amazing. I've explored new styles with my voice and discovered talents I didn't know I had. The supportive teachers and creative environment make it a great place for any singer to grow.”

Salem Palacios

“I really like taking lessons here because the instruments are taken good care of and help me sound better. I also really enjoy how easy-going and understanding the instructors are, helping students slowly deconstruct music in order to learn their respective instrument. It’s a peaceful place without stress, I really enjoy it here.”

Micaela Godoy

“I love taking lessons at wsm cause I get to learn from some of the best musicians and I get to meet a bunch of other musicians my age. It’s such a welcoming environment and I feel like every student can connect with their teacher and leave their lesson feeling like they’ve learned something new! Every lesson feels like unlocking a new chapter of skills, taking lessons has helped me improve so much as a musician in such a short amount of time.”

Ava Pantoja

“I enjoy taking classes at WSM because they fit my lessons so I can learn to the best of my ability, and it also gives me an opportunity to showcase what I’ve been working on.”

“It wasn’t until Sammy sat me down in front of my parents and made me perform my first piece that I realized what I had accomplished. I wasn’t just dabbling anymore; I was a musician. 

I eventually graduated high school to join the rowing team for the University of Pennsylvania, from which I graduated with a B.A. in Mathematics. I now work in Los Angeles as a consultant for Heidrick & Struggles. 

To this day, music remains a constant fixture in my life. Music gave me confidence and taught me discipline in some of the most formative years of my life. It taught me to be creative, think outside the box, and to understand what it’s like to pursue perfection.”

James Gerrard

“Playing and studying music during high school really helped shape my future. Getting to play in Avalanche not only developed my musicianship but gave me a passion for music as a whole and taught me more than any class ever will.

I now attend Belmont University, where I’m pursuing a career in audio engineering playing drums in every band I can.”

Sebastian Zel

“I studied guitar, songwriting, and music production with Sammy Gonzalez from ages 8-17. I’ve since graduated with honors from NYU Steinhardt with a degree in Music Composition & Theory and have carved out a career as a professional composer, producer, and instrumentalist in New York City. Most recently, I composed a soundtrack for Andrew Garcia’s “La Piel De Ayer” which premiered in May 2019 on HBO.”

Virginia Akar

"Sammy and Zach are both incredibly talented musicians with a unique ability and passion for teaching. My son was lucky to have Sammy as his guitar teacher for 6 years until he left for college, guitar in tow."
